How to Care for High Porosity Natural Hair

 


Caring for high porosity hair requires special attention to prevent excessive moisture loss and maintain healthy, manageable locks. Here are some tips:


1. Use sulfate-free shampoo: Sulfates can strip your hair of natural oils, making it more prone to dryness. Opt for sulfate-free shampoos to retain moisture.


2. Deep condition: Regular deep conditioning treatments help hydrate and strengthen high porosity hair. Look for products with ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, or argan oil.


3. Leave-in conditioner: Applying a leave-in conditioner can provide added moisture and protection. It helps seal the cuticles, reducing frizz and preventing further damage.


4. Protein treatments: High porosity hair often benefits from protein treatments to fill gaps in the hair shaft. Use these treatments sparingly, as too much protein can make hair brittle.


5. Seal with oils: Applying natural oils like jojoba, avocado, or grapeseed oil can help seal moisture into your hair. Use them sparingly to avoid a greasy feel.


6. Low-heat styling: Minimize the use of heat styling tools, like flat irons and curling irons, as they can exacerbate dryness. If you must use heat, use a heat protectant spray and lower temperatures.


7. Gentle handling: Be gentle when detangling and styling your hair to minimize breakage. Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers, and start from the tips, working your way up.


8. Trim regularly: Trimming split ends helps maintain healthy hair. Schedule regular haircuts every 6-8 weeks to prevent split ends from traveling up the hair shaft.


9. Protective styles: Consider protective hairstyles like braids, twists, or buns to reduce exposure to environmental factors that can worsen high porosity hair.


10. Satin or silk pillowcase: Sleeping on a satin or silk pillowcase can reduce friction, helping to prevent breakage and frizz.

What to do if it seems like your natural hair is not growing

Image
@breezyspuffs (IG) If it feels like your hair isn’t growing, the issue may not actually be growth itself—hair grows about half an inch per month on average. The problem may be breakage, slow growth, or factors that hinder visible length retention. Here’s what you can do to promote healthier, stronger growth: 1. Check Your Routine for Breakage Causes: • Reduce heat styling: Excessive use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow-dryers can damage hair. Try air-drying or using lower heat settings and always use a heat protectant. • Limit chemical treatments: Frequent coloring, perming, or relaxing can weaken hair, leading to breakage. • Be gentle when detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb and start from the ends, working your way up to avoid pulling and snapping. 2. Moisturize Regularly: • Dry hair is more prone to breakage, so keep it hydrated. Use moisturizing conditioners, deep conditioners, or hair masks weekly, and consider leave-in conditioners or oils like coconut
